The Kremlin has reiterated Russia's continued interest in negotiations with Ukraine, emphasizing the use of politics and diplomacy to achieve its objectives. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that while Russia remains committed to the negotiating process, it will persist with its military operations in Ukraine. No agreements have been reached regarding an air ceasefire, and Russia continues to conduct strikes on Ukrainian military infrastructure, including a recent deadly attack on Kyiv. The Kremlin also indicated that any measures that could contribute to peace should be discussed discreetly. Despite ongoing conflict, Russian officials maintain that their strategy involves simultaneous negotiation efforts and military actions.
